I took her out it was Friday night
I wore cologne to get the feeling right
we started making out and she took off my pants
but then I turned on the TV
And that's about the time that she walked away from me
nobody likes you when you're 23
and are still more amused by TV shows
what the fuck is a.d.d.?
my friends say I should act my age
what's my age again?
what's my age again?
Then later on, on the drive home
I called her mom from a pay phone
I said I was the cops
and your husband's in jail
this state looks down on sodomy
And that's about the time that bitch hung up on me
nobody likes you when you're 23
and are still more amused by prank phone calls
what the fuck is caller ID?
my friends say I should act my age
what's my age again?
where's my asian friend?
(It's the slow pretty part!)
And that's about the time she walked away from me
nobody likes you when you're 23
and you still act like you're in Freshman year
what the fuck is wrong with me?
my friends say I should act my age
what's my age again?
And that's about the time she broke up with me
no one should take themselves so seriously
with many years ahead to fall in line
why would you wish that on me?
I never want to act my age
what's my age again?
who's my asian friend?
What's my age again?
All the / small things
true care / truth brings
I'll take / one lift
your ride / best trip
always / I know
you'll be / at my show
watching, waiting, commiserating
Say it ain't so, I will not go
turn the lights off, carry me home
Na, na, na, na....
Late night, come home
work sucks, I know
she left me roses by the stairs
surprises let me know she cares
Say it ain't so, I will not go
turn the lights off, carry me home
Na, na, na, na....
Say it ain't so, I will not go
turn the lights off, carry me home
keep your head still, I'll be your thrill
the night will go on, my little windmill
Say it ain't so, I will not go
turn the lights off, carry me home
keep your head still, I'll be your thrill
the night will go on,
the night will go on,
my little windmill
I never thought I'd die alone
I laughed the loudest who'd have known?
I trace the cord back to the wall
no wonder it was never plugged in at all
I took my time, I hurried up
the choice was mine I didn't think enough
I'm too depressed to go on
but you'll be sorry when I'm gone
I never conquered, rarely came
but 16 just held such better days
days when I still felt alive
we couldn't wait to get outside
the world was wide, too late to try
the tour was over, we'd survived
I couldn't wait till I got home
to pass the time in my room alone
I never thought I'd die alone
another six months I'll be unknown
give all my things to all my friends
you'll never step foot in my room again
you'll close it off, you'll board it up
remember the time that I spilled the cup
of apple juice in the hall
and please tell mom this is not her fault
I never conquered, rarely came
but 16 just held such better days
days when I still felt alive
we couldn't wait to get outside
the world was wide, too late to try
the tour was over, we'd survived
I couldn't wait till I got home
to pass the time in my room alone
I never conquered, rarely came
but tomorrow holds such better days
days when I can still feel alive
and I can't wait to get outside
the world is wide, the time goes by
the tour is over, I've survived
I can't wait till I get home
to pass the time in my room alone
